    198P hydraulic JP

    I know in the last few years a 4" JP is all Ranger would allow on their hulls, I was just wondering if that is still the case or are they allowing at least a 6" since they are now allowing double poles on the 2019 198P??

    I talked to Ranger a few weeks ago. I was told 4” is what they recommend.

    Just wondering if it’s worth the price . Does the boat handle and perform better. My boat is 2017 198p. I would appreciate any feedback .Thanks

    I’ll reply soon as mine gets here. I’m looking at 10 weeks in face.
    I got the 4” my son didn’t put jp on his 198. So he wants to know if it worth it as well

    Thanks, are you saying that there is a 10 week wait on your boat from the factory??

    Yes and looks like 11 weeks is gaining ground!

    When I ordered my 198 Ranger installed a 4" Atlas. I have seen mention that they will warranty up to a 6" Atlas if installed by Ranger or a Ranger dealer but have not seen that in writing. As for performance increases I can't help you. I haven't had the opportunity to run it much and have only been able to get 52.7mph with two people, full fuel and empty livewells. I also have two 8' Talons.

    From above post about letting you know how my jp did:
    I would get money $ back if could. My case, the only benefit I have is idling out of shallow water and beaching boat.
    I can trim up and do same thing without jp.
    But it looks nice! Could help resale though.

    If I get one it would be for idling through miles and miles of no wake shallow canals on a few of our chain lakes.
